History & Mission

Key of Hope was founded in 2007 by Dan and Rachel Smither. After working with inner-city children in metro Detroit for over ten years, they relocated to Durban, South Africa - the epicenter of the global AIDS epidemic, and the crime capital of the world.

Beginning with one 9 year old girl who couldn’t afford to pay the fees to attend school, Key of Hope has grown to include 25 staff reaching 2,000 children in 13 different slums with weekly home visits as well as a host of sports, music, and education programs.

Key of Hope is fully dedicated in its efforts to provide long term mentoring relationships to these children. Relationships that they need not only to survive, but to thrive as citizens, leaders, and disciples of Christ. We are unlocking the future of Africa, one child at a time!
